I feel like higher education and housing for students should be a higher priority than turning the city into a museum frozen in time for aging "locals".
We all should build. In case you forgot the acronym, "Not In My Back Yard" means a tragedy of the commons in which everyone points their fingers the other way, and we end up in this terrible situation.
To be fair, the only entity who owns very large amounts of undeveloped land in the area is ... UCSC itself.
The worst NIMBY in the area is UCSC. They want to bring in all the students but not provide enough housing even though they own tons of open land in which they could build such housing.
